Add physical therapists and occupational therapists to the federal loan forgiveness program.

Created by P.S. on March 25, 2013

Please consider funding this bill. First introduced by Rep. Jo Ann Emerson in 2011 as HR 1426/ S. 975. I have just recently run up a student loan bill of $37,000 to obtain my Masters in Occupational Therapy. I did this to be able to teach students the art of being a therapist. I needed this job because I am the primary bread earner of my family of 5 and we did not have health care coverage. (pre-existing condition). I am 50 years old, Mom of 3 boys-one adopted from the state of KY, work full time and a part time job and do loads of volunteer work in the community. We have two cars each more than 13 years old and now spending the extra job money on student loan payments. I am aware this loan forgiveness is about our tax dollars bettering our citizens and communities. Please support.
